IMES at GW invites you to our DC Arabic Teachers' Council, a network of local teachers that design their own professional development opportunities in pedagogy and curriculum.
The mission of the DC Arabic Teachers' Council is to:
- create opportunities for teachers of Arabic at all grade levels to meet, network, share resources and ideas
- support schools that want to start or increase Arabic language teaching
- sponsor community-based events that elevate the teaching of Arabic language and culture
The DC Arabic Teachers' Council is generously sponsored by Qatar Foundation International.
